So I'm not vegan, but I do enjoy eating vegan occasionally. Sometimes my body is just craving it. You know I love a good taco!! I also love nuts, so when I came across this recipe from The First Mess, I thought, "I HAVE to try this". I took a mix of seeds (cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds) added some spices (basically taco seasoning) and a little avocado oil, put it in the food processor and blended until a chunky paste-like texture formed. Then I served it with a corn salsa. So easy!

I am also on a cashew kick right now-- there are SO many things you can make out of cashews!! Like my homemade cashew pesto. When I saw a cashew sour cream recipe, I knew I had to add it to my list. I don't eat regular sour cream for no other reason than I just don't love it (and it is typically high in calories and fat). I took a couple of different cashew sour cream recipes, added avocado and BAM!! It was the perfect sauce for my vegan tacos! Take a look...

"sour cream" ingredients

1/2 avocado, removed from skin

3/4 cup raw cashews, soaked in filtered water for a minimum of 3 hours (then drained)

juice of 1/2 a lime

1 tsp white wine vinegar

6 tsbp water

salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Place all ingredients (including seasoning of salt and pepper) in the food processor and blend until a smooth paste has formed . You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to make sure all the ingredients get blended well. Also, feel free to more water to achieve desired consistency. Salt and pepper to taste. {feel free to add more avocado if you want more of that flavor!}
